Why Couples and Families Trust Raasch Photography

Raasch.Photography delivers timeless, story-driven wedding and portrait imagery with a modern and refined aesthetic. With photographs that balance emotional candid moments with well-directed portraits, couples and families look like themselves, elevated.

With a calm, easygoing approach, I create space for you to feel natural, confident, and beautifully at ease in every frame. I guide where needed and stay invisible when real moments happen. My shooting style leans photojournalistic/candid with editorial moments when inspired. I prioritize real moments first, then gently guide portraits that feel natural and look like your in Vogue.

My main editing style delivers a refined editorial look that balances timeless elegance with modern style. The colors are clean, modern, and bright with soft highlights, a gentle warmth, and flattering skin tones and remain consistent across locations and lighting conditions. Paired with some tastefull black and white images, each collection is a cohesive gallery that remains authentic and true.

For more than six years, I’ve captured stories across an array of cultures and moments that matter, earning a reputation for five-star client care and outstanding customer service. With Raasch Photography, you can relax, be yourself, and fully live in the moment.

Every gallery documents your story reflecting the beauty of life as it unfolds.

About Rick Raasch

I’m Rick, your Photographer/Videographer based in Long Beach, California. I’ve spent the six years photographing weddings and families all over California. My style blends candid storytelling with just the right amount of direction so you look great while still feeling like yourself.

On each session, we’ll capture the must-have shots, the emotional in-betweens, and even a few editorial-cinematic frames that feel like they belong in a Vogue! I believe the best images come from trust, joy, and genuine connection.

  • My husband and I are beyond grateful that we chose Rick to capture our wedding and engagement photos! He was such a pleasure to work with and is so incredibly organized, friendly, and helpful with posing and capturing our authentic selves. Our photos are breathtakingly beautiful and most of that comes from Rick's magic behind the camera. I recommend him to all my friends and will be a lifetime customer!

  • We’ve worked with Rick many times for private events and weddings at El Dorado Golf Course, and he is truly incredible. He’s professional, punctual, warm, and so easy to work with. His photos are stunning, he captures not just beautiful moments, but the couple’s personality and genuine love for each other. He’s also great about delivering photos quickly, which we really appreciate. We highly recommend Rick and proudly include him on our preferred vendor list!

  • Rick's work is outstanding. His pictures not only capture moments in the event but also the way it felt to be there. Looking at his pictures of our wedding instantly takes me back to the wedding and lets me feel it from a perspective that wouldn't be possible without his pictures. There is an art to photography and Rick is an artist.

  • I absolutely love the family photos that Rick took for us! I can’t get over how well he captured the energy of each of our family members, it feels like magic and I’m so grateful. Rick was friendly, timely, and an overall pleasure to work with. We look forward to working with him again in the future and are already referring him to our family and friends. Thank you Rick for the amazing memories!

  • Rick was GREAT! We weren’t really sure where we wanted to do family pictures and he picked a great spot! We had a great time taking the pictures and were laughing the whole time. We got the pictures back quickly and loved all of them! Choosing the ones for the Christmas card will be tough decision! I am so happy that we have some awesome family photos together that are great quality!
